Keeping Tabs
Wendy links an essay in the WSJ which opines:
…the tax burden for most Americans is far too high but they do not realize it fully because of tax withholding and the payroll tax hides the true burden they are forced to shoulder.
I know exactly how much has been stolen from me, because I’ve been keeping track for over 20 years.
I didn’t read the article because Murray reveals what he is in his very first sentence, however, ending withholding and making people take action to pay taxes would certainly make them fully aware of the fact that taxation is theft, and whether or not it’s “bad for democracy” would instantly become a moot point just as it should be.
